To all whom it may concern: I

Be it known that 1, WILLIAM' BRADLEY,

- a citizen of the United States of America,

residing at Pittsburgh, in the county of Allegheny and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain 'new and useful Improvements in Curtain-Fixtures, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawing.

This invention relates to curtain fixtures, and the rimary object of my invention is to provi e a combined pole and shade roller support that can be easily and quickly placed in engagement with a window, door or alcove frame and adjusted for supporting ourtain poles and shade rollers of various lengths. Another object of this invention is to provide a curtain fixture that can be manufacture'd at a minimum cost and easily and guickly installed to provide a safe support or a curtain pole'and shade roller.

A further object of this invention is to accomplish the above results by a fixture that can be finished'to harmonize with the structure in connection with which it is used and installed without resorting to the use of nails or screws.

With the above and other objects in view,

the invention resides in the novel construction, combination and arrangement of parts to be hereinafter specifically described and then claimed. 1

Reference will now be had to the drawing, wherein like numerals denote corresponding parts throughout the several views, in which:- 'Figure 1 is a front elevation of the curtain fixture as applied to a window frame, Fig. 2 is a perspectiveview of'a modified form of fixture, Fig. 3 is a horizontal sectional view of the same, Fi 4 is a cross sec- .iztio'nal view of a portion 0 the fixture, and

7 tion comprises a pressed or stamped metalsupport 4'5". Fig; 5 is a vertical sectional view f the fixture. s

{fixture inaccordance with the ln'vensupport 1 that is rectan lar in frontelev. tion, said su ort having a longitudinal groove exten in from one end thereof to the opp site en has a hanger 3 by which said support is secured to the front side of a frame 4. The upper end of the hanger is bent rearwardly, as at 5 and provided with depend- The upper edge of the nently locate and hold the'hangers,.nails or screws can be resorted to, the nails passing through 'openings 7 provided therefor in the hen er.

T18 support 1 is provided with a'longitudinal slot 8 and slidably mounted in the groove 2 of said support is a plate 9 having a longitudinal slot 10 adapted to register with the slot Set the support 1. Extending through the slots 8 and 10 is a screw 11 provided with a winged thumb nut 12, said screw and said nut constituting means for locking the plate 9 relatively to the support 1. One end of the plate 9 is bent at right angles to provide an arm 13 and the end of horizontal bracket 14 having side Walls 15. The bracket has a longitudinal slot 16 and slidably mounted upon said bracket is a pole holder 17 having a hook-shaped end 18 to receive the end of a pole. The holder 17 has a longitudinal slot 19 registering with the slot 16 of the bracket Extending through said slots is a screw 20, having. a Winged thumb nut 21 for locking said holder in an'adjusted position. The'arm 13 of the fixture has a slot or aperture 22 to accommodate one of the pintles of a curtain shade roller. The upper and lower walls of the groove 2 prevent a wabbling movement of r the plate 9 and the walls 15 prevent a side wise movement of the holder 17,. With the exception of the screws and nuts the fixture can be pressed and shaped from three pieces said am is bent or twisted to provide a of material that are inexpensive to manufac- I ture and susceptible to any desired orna mentation.

In Figs. 2 to 5 of the drawing there is a modification of, the hanger, said hanger be-' made 'oftwo sections 3 and 3 adjustin ably connected together by a screw 11 and a nut 12. By means of this adjustment the fixture can be adjusted relatively to the upper edge of the window frame.

It will of course be understood that two of the fixtures are used in connection with an ordinary window frame and when large .drapery poles are to vbe supported, a plurality of the fixtures can be employed.

I 5 the upper edge of said support, a late sli ably mounted in the groove of sai support,

an arm carried by the end of said plate and,

having an opening formed therein, said arm havin the outer end thereof bent to rovide 10 a horizontal bracket, a pole holder 5 idably mounted upon the bracket ofsaid arm, and means for adjustably holding said holder in engagement with said bracket.

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature in the presence of two witnesses.

WILLIAM BRADLEY.
